Cool! I'll be sending some to Pedal Empire really soon :) Building the first batch of 20 right now. Hit me up if you're interested in a cheap beta model - I made 9 for the show and their DIP switching will just be different to the final instruction manual.

Got some photos of the progress here: https://www.instagram.com/lightningwave/

Haha by "really soon" I probably meant in 6 months time .

Man, everything takes ages! Just updated the info here. Have been bogged for quite a few weeks writing the instructions but we're pretty much there there! The pics are up here

We also put together a DIY-er prototype that housed breadboard prototypes or custom PCBs

Wow!

And thank you, it gives me a bit of a kick in the bum for my own pedals

Certainly could. Yeah I ideally want it to be a modulating fuzz-beast, but I haven't really had time to think anything up yet.. The filter has gone through a couple of versions, but it is admittedly not very doomy, hence it being on the sideline.

This is how the Unknown is supposed to work e.g. prototype an optically or CV modulated sound

Then build that sound onto a DIY board that can be swapped over whenever:

Admittedly I haven't had time to actually build a sound card yet..

I'm out of the Astros - only made 5 of 20, the rest are Ghosts and there are about 5 left. I could do a discount on building one from the MK1 boards I made last december. They're the same with only set CV output - no sync in/out. Not keen to undercut Deluxe or Pedal Empire on this MK2 batch. From what I gather that would likely be a dick move.

Also, cheers Cdog!

Ha, no worries - sorry, that was meant to be tongue in cheek! It is really awesome to see your stuff out there.
